Biden is the new Benedict Arnold
Benedict Arnold. Imagine having your name go down in history with Judas as a synonym for Traitor. Terrible fate.
I appreciate the accuracy on the recounts of these great events. But there was no mention of John Connor?
Seems like no big deal when compared to selling the future of America to foreign adversaries. (Ahem, Biden)
Today we have Benedict Biden. Sold out the USA to the Chinese.
Real tragedy is he was one of the greatest battlefield commanders of the revolution up until he turned. Won the Saratoga battles and granny gates wrote congress taking credit for the victory and never mentioned Arnold.
is joe biden and benny related i think so
What I know , he spent his on money , won many battles for them , and they turn their back on him . Gave his victory in battles to someone else . Basically treated him like shi* . So he gave up on them . I can understand why . But it still a sad event that happen .
he wasnt a traitor to america. he was loyal to his King and Country.
Why would Arnold not try to spin the treason as trying to lure the British into a trap? Say he tried to get them to think the defenses were down but in reality he had plans to strengthen the defenses and catch the British off guard and deliver an overwhelming victory over the British?
@ 32:45 Reed wanting to show his power getting brash Arnold. I can’t help to think what is happening post January 6th in how many traitors are being created. Sons and Daughter of those placed in prison for political reasons will not view themselves as Americans anymore.
Washington really made 2 bad moves here. He trusted too much I think.
1. He NEEVER should have let Reed blackmail him! Just show the public the letter and reed would be toast. He should have protected Arnold.
2. Arnold as a governor? With his temper?? C’mon man! That was a disatser waiting to happen.
If Andre wasnt so stupid, we would have lost no doubt.
Do you not have s1 e8 and e10,
Always thought it ironic that he has the reputation as a “traitor” despite the fact that America’s founding fathers and the Continental Army were all literally traitors.
How much money did benedict arnold and his family make from usa enemies vs joe and hunter biden crimes ?
Must be trumps relative.😂
When 8:15 hits and they’re talking about courtship… why the horse hoofs sound like booty clapping😂😂
William Floyd was a slave holder.
They made an error here. Washington did NOT severely chastise Arnold. He had no choice but to acknowledge the findings of the court, but his “criticism” of Arnold was most gentle and done in a way that the man understood his support of the man he considered one of ~ if not THE BEST ~ of his generals. Despite knowing his Commander’s support, Arnold was going to turn Washington over the the British as well as West Point and, in fact, that might have been consider more important. For Washington WAS the Revolution as just about everybody understood. The gentleman who speaks of the consequences of a British win ~ Arnold’s dukedom and Washington being hanged, drawn and quartered (a particularly ugly execution method used in cases of “high treason”) is not wrong in that and it must be remembered that Arnold understood that such would have been the fate of the man who had constantly supported him in his fight with Congress. No, while excuses can be found for Arnold’s treason, no excuse is sufficient to mitigate the man’s egregious act against a man who had championed him at every opportunity. Washington was spared only because news reached the small group he was with that there were British patrols ahead and they took another way! Another example of “Divine Providence” acting in Washington’s favor.
I recommend reading Valiant Ambition: George Washington, Benedict Arnold, and the Fate of the American Revolution by Nathaniel Philbrick
Sounds a lot like Joe Biden
That is sad that he betrayed usa
Title should read “America Betrays Benedict Arnold”!. All he did was return the favor
I’m sure we have more than a handful of Benedicts in our Government right now. They be found and arrested and sentenced.
He must have been an ancestor to Biden~!
The narrator is excellent 👍
History CHANNEL HAS TURN INTO WOKE GARBAGE!!!
I was going to say how the woke liberals would try and make Benedict a HERO… LOL AND THAT IS WHAT THEY DID IN THIS LYING BULLCRAP. Benedict Arnold try to take credit for everyone battles! HE WAS FULL OF EGO AND HE WAS TRAITOR TO AMERICA! The History Channel is FULL OF LIES NOW!!
History Channel trying to make Americans look bad and Indians who murder people as good!! I use to like the history channel but this is WOKE GARBAGE! George Washington is the father of our country and he should be honored and respected! Not made to look like an evil person. Benedict Arnold committed Treason and Betray The United States.
